Despite the fact that Kriti Senan's commercial, released for the Raksha Bandhan festival, was taken down after controversy arose, discussions surrounding it continue. Some people criticize Kriti for her choice of attire during the ritual, while others support the actress.
Sunil Lahri, who plays the character Lakshman in the religious series 'Ramayana,' shared his opinion regarding Kriti's revealing clothing in the advertisement. He posted a video on his social media expressing satisfaction with the boycott of this commercial.
Lahri emphasized that festivals, celebrations, and festivities are connected to deep feelings, relationships, traditions, and culture, and respect for these aspects is everyone's duty. He also shared his view on true masculine valor.
He highly praised the collective protest against one of the commercials related to Raksha Bandhan. In Lahri's opinion, true masculinity lies in protecting women, and all men should act as their protectors, not aggressors. He noted that women are revered and worthy of respect.
In the caption to the video, Sunil Lahri wrote that festivals, culture, and emotions are the foundation, and that the boycott carried out in connection with Raksha Bandhan was a respectable act. He also congratulated everyone on the sacred festival of Raksha Bandhan.
Earlier, Kriti Senan appeared in an advertisement for a jewelry brand specifically created for Raksha Bandhan. In this commercial, she was depicted tying a bracelet onto her brother's wrist on screen in a revealing style. Many people expressed disagreement with the actress displaying such provocative outfits in honor of the sacred festival. Kanya Ranaut also joined this phenomenon, voicing criticism against Kriti's image. As a result of the escalating controversy, the brand decided to remove the advertisement from all platforms.
